Father Justin presented honorary plaques to Amy Seaman and Koren Cowgill for their dedication to our Sunday School children.  Amy directs the Sunday School, under her leadership participation has grown over the past decade.  Year round Christian Education for our children is offered, including Vacation Bible School.  We are truly thankful for a vibrant Sunday School program!
 
Koren has directed the children in music throughout the past eight years, most notably the Children's Christmas Eve Services.  She has composed original music both for our children and our congregation, as we enjoyed on Christ the King Sunday!
